Can super high myopia be inherited

summary

Will high myopia be passed on to children? In the general population of our country, about 15 are carriers of myopia gene. So we are very concerned about this issue, today I will give you a detailed introduction of this aspect, interested friends can come to have a look.

Can super high myopia be inherited

First: high myopia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease, that is, a pair of genes related to myopia are pathogenic genes of the disease. If only one of his genes is pathogenic, and the other gene is normal, then he will not have the disease, but only the carrier of the pathogenic gene.

Second: for example, parents are not short-sighted, but they are high myopia gene carriers. They do not show myopia in themselves, but their pathogenic genes are passed on to their children, so that their children have two short-sighted genes, so that their children become short-sighted.

Third: men with high myopia and women with high myopia (more than 600 degrees) have more than 90% chance of developing the disease. If it is associated with myopic gene carriers, there may be a high degree of myopia in the future generations. But if it is associated with normal vision or low myopia, the chance of myopia in the future generations is 110%.
